do people know about this forum?

like I realize that artifact probably isn't going to be the most heavily populated game here but there is no traffic, and it's not in the actual forum listing.. I actually had to work pretty hard to find out where you guys were hiding this subforum, lol

I've been lurking. ;P But hard to talk about the game since it lacks a ladder and has no serious tournaments yet to get a sense of the game balance. (The current major invitation only tournaments of popular personalities that have / are ocurring don't count - especially with the poor play of some of the invites).

The game is the first card game I've really enjoyed since the Hearthstone beta times. Really fresh with many strategic options I can go with yet and I hope the game remains unsolved for awhile. Am starting to seem to have fewer non-automatic decisions to make these days though which has me a tad worried that the depth will remain there.

Anyway - perhaps we could do a small informal TL draft tournament to get some lurkers to come out of the woods?

maybe it should be on the listing

If people have customised their sidebar settings this forum doesn't auto-show by default. Which is fairly annoying.

i've gone back to play MTGA after touching artifact. can't say anything for hearthstone or its new expac.

in comparing the two,basically, i think people prefer magic arena over artifact because of being invested already, and for opening free packs from playing. that's it.

there's more variance in deck-building (and there are more cards) but there isn't necessarily more ways to win.artifact plays out much better than magic arena and i would much prefer to face a control deck in artifact than one played in magic.

there are no events in artifact other than the ones set up by players themselves. there are no special drafts like singleton in magic arena or brawl.and you lack a lot of good cards to make the deck that you wish.so it created an uncomfortable relationship with reaching for your wallet.

i think with some way to gain cards or game modes, tournaments, run of the mill stuff, they can do really well.actually i'm very confused why they don't put more money into the team to manage such things.

gameplay for gameplay between all online card games though, i think it's clear to me that artifact is much better than the rest.

I find that artifact has a higher skill ceiling when it comes to play (my opinion), but less room for creative deck building. And, while the latter may be partially because it's only one set, it's also because the card variation is pretty shitty.

That said, it's a good game still.
